Hey all,

One thing I would be interested in hearing about / discussing would be  
how people cope with projects that grow out of a single code base ..  
old age problem I know, and probably yawns-ville .. however ..

I've been involved with a few projects recently where my client's have  
wanted to do just that .. (more bang for the buck I guess) ..

Multiple ideas have floated through my head .. git submodules,  
plugins .. gems etc etc .. but some just seem overkill for little  
config or minor added implementations between sites .. yet I still  
need the ability to do some big implementation changes if I want, and  
not suffer duplication elsewhere..

I've come up with what is probably an intermediate solution .. but I'd  
love to hear from other members who undoubtably have worked their way  
through this, and kept themselves dry in the process..

I have no idea whether this is really a topic that is worth pursuing,  
but its an itch I currently have, so I thought I'd pop it out there ..

Or to turn it on its head .. I could look further into what might be  
some good solutions, and we then decide how wrong I've been.

Cheers,
Jase.
